oh man. just update the latest firmware via OTA. guess need to do Manual Update B in order to format everything. T.T

Yup u need to flash ur emmc as well.

yeah, *#7370# is for symbian only

you need to reflash n900 with 2 images, one for the OS (fiasco image) and another eMMC image for user storage (emmc vanilla) to get rid of everything... a.k.a factory reset

image? is it hard? btw, er.. can i just blindly follow Manual Update B at FP? kinda hard to understand, what image or sort of it. im noob with newer gadget. damn.

yup, manual update B should do the trick (first time i check what is manual update B in front page )

Frankly speaking even I don't follow the FP method of flashing

have another option bro? i just need to format everything. thats all. al ready update the firmware OTA.

now downloading 1st picture damn long. 190MB. 30kbps. wtf?

picture 2, vanilla nit download yet which is 250MB. why i need go through this just to format the memory. T.T it will be nice if got some code like *#7370#. done in a minute. gosh. i loved the old time.

its because you are formatting and installing an OS to a computer. not a phone.

Use Nokia Software Updater.But it that fails you have go back to Manual Flasher.

Download the Maemo Flasher 3.5 tool from same site
Download the 1st image.
Rename to R.bin
Put the file in Program files\maemo\flasher-3.5 folder
Open Maemo Flasher 3.5
Turn off your phone
Keep pressing "U" on your keyboard while inserting the USB cable(make sure you plugged the another end at your PC!)
Copy paste this command at maemo Flasher 3.5 program -> flasher-3.5.exe -F R.bin -f -R

Your device will reboot after some time.

Up to you if you want to flash the internal memory aka eMMC

All this process is very2 similar.We have over 160 users & most of them agree that FP method made manual flashing really easy.

Why knowing manual flashing method important?
Because unlike any other phone in market N900 is software wise unbrickable.If there is something wrong with your OS a reflash should solve it.
99% of time N900's defect are hardware defect.

P/S:After few days in iPhone subforum,I can say for sure you'll never get this kind of help at that subforum.

lol..nobody help me

Go to Menu
Tap "Settings"
Tap "Bluetooth"
Turn on your bluetooth
Tap "Devices"
Tap "New" & make sure your headphone/earphone or whatever you call it on.
After that just synch your headphone/earphone & it'll save your device.

So next time if you want to use your headphone/earphone all you have to do is turn on your bluetooth at your phone 1st & then turn of your headphone/earphone.
It'll be automatically paired.

by image, we mean os image. not a picture...

image is a compressed file containing all the files in the exact manner how its going to be written to the destination disk.

At last. Thanks sifu. But, my n900 cant find the device. Dont know why..

Make sure your bluetooth device is on "pairing" mode.
For the BH-505, this is the procedure: Turn off your bluetooth device, hold the power button until it flashes blue.
